EARLY STAGE ESTIMATE

Use BCIS information to get an early idea of how much the building will cost. Type in general information about the project, such as the type of building, its location, size, and what it will be used for. BCIS makes predictions based on past projects that were identical. Review and change the estimate based on things like the materials, the site's conditions, and the complexity of the plan. Write down the expected prices and any changes that were made. Early figures help you plan for costs, but they might not match up with the actual costs. As the details of the project change, revise and update your projections. Estimates are checked by consulting professionals.
